President Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room Monday morning, declaring it “Liberation Day in D.C.” and announcing that he was taking over Washington, D.C.’s police force. Invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a rarely used provision of federal law, Trump said he was placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct White House control and deploying the D.C. National Guard into city streets.

Trust me, we are not taking this as a joke. And the comparison to 1930s Germany is not hyperbole. Many have seen it since January; by now everybody should.

Many of us have seen it since long before January 2025. We were told we were overreacting.

I expected it to be bad. I expected it to be worse than first term.

I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Then, and I'm being deadly serious here, you should do a complete review of where you get your news from. This was all in the open long before the election, as part of the project 2025 leaks. "News" media refusing to cover it isn't media worth listening to.
